corradojeff's second atempt at bug

[corradojeff]

well....i did it again 8) picked up a nice 65 bug from fellow member Mike Soto. Great running 1600 dp and all in all a strong little bug. it is ofcourse slammed right now and sad to say im actually looking to raise the rear up a touch :'(

future plans are:
seals
minor rust repair
paint and body
air ride
2017cc
nice suspension low back seats
stereo (of course)
FUN!!!!

the last being the most important

here are some pics as it sat when i got it



o it still needs a name...that will come with time though

its good to be back from the dark side ;)

[corradojeff]

oh and incase you dont know attempt #1 heres one of the last pic's i have...dont mind the crappy water-cooled in the fore-ground ;)

[corradojeff]

ya thats still at mikes house. Ill get some new pics shortly

[corradojeff]

finally decided on color plans for the bug... possibly painting in 2 weeks... we shall see if all works out

I'm with J on this one, keep the current colors

[BusDriver]

Have to agree, I like both of the current colors better (IMO) Awesome + Awesome = Awesomer  ;D

and either I saw this car the other day on Walker by the 217 on-ramp with a roof rack or it was your cars evil twin, either way it was a beautiful site ;)

[corradojeff]

idk... just something about the flat that im un sure on... but ill ride it out lol

[Matty]

Jeffy, the world really does not another red Bug in it

[RotorMan]

yea dude...i would leave it...i saw it when mike first picked it up...i like the color scheme

[T3Squared]

So Dont get me wrong here i love the way the car looks now. But that being said I have seen and worked on the car first hand and even though it looks amazing there are a few things that need to be fixed. I love the ideas of the new paint and i am stoked about helping you do it jeff ;D

Jeff, is this Mater? If so, my wife thinks she sees this same Bug every time she works out at the 24hr fitness on Cornell...just food for thought  ;)

[corradojeff]

that bug has been in a garage in oregon city since i sold it a couple years back. have her shoot a pic of the plate or look for some pin stripe handy work on the frunk lid and that will be a dead give away

in other news i took the shifter stuff all apart and put it back together and now everything works right. lol  and i got the pop-out rears installed.

looking good to be ready for CFTC

I tried to get Mater from her and she was adamant that she was going to fix it up and use it as her daily. Maybe this happened.
